"Inuyasha?" Kagome whispered,
"Yeah, what?"
"Do you realize that both you and Kouga talked to Sesshoromaru as if he could understand yall."
"Yeah stupid, that's because he can."
Kagome's eyes went wide and then looked to the sleeping child. "Inuyasha, why did you tell him not to side with Kouga?"
"Because that brat was getting smug with Kouga."
Kagome looked back at Inuyasha "What? how do you know that"
"He is a demon Kagome; he has an aura."
"Then why can't I feel it?"
"I dunno, you should as much as you hold that kid," Inuyasha said as he stood and jumped into a tree. Kagome sighed, she figured she would ask Sesshomaru about it the next time she saw him.
Kagome woke, the sun had not yet come up, and even though the fire was out, smoke came from it. Kagome sat up and yawned and then looked down. Sesshoromaru was missing. Kagome removed the covers from her body and jumped "Inuyasha!" She yelled,
"What Kagome!" He said in a hurry as he came running into camp. Sango and Miroku woke up and rubbed their eyes. "Kagome?" They both said in Union. "The baby! the baby is missing!" She stated while looking around,
"What?" Sango said while Miroku helped her up. "Inuyasha where is the baby?!" Kagome yelled at him.
"Why you asking me?!"
"Cause you were on watch last night" Sango pointed out. "Yeah, I watch for Naraku and other bad guys, not baby demons!"
"SIT BOY" Kagome screamed "SIT SIT SIT" Then she ran off. "Come on Sango we better help." Miroku offered, leaving Inuyasha to help himself out of the hole Kagome had made for him, Miroku and Sango stepped over Inuyasha.
"Sesshoromaru!" Kagome called, but she didn't know why it was not like he was going to yell back. She just hoped that he would crawl back to her. Kagome began to cry. Sango and Miroku caught up to her "It will be ok Kagome we will find him" Sango tried her best. "Oh Sango, what if he is hurt! Sesshomaru is going to kill me!"
"Maybe we should split up," Miroku said coming closer to the girls. "Good idea" Sango agreed. They went their separate ways in hopes to find the child before he got hurt, or Sesshomaru showed up. Kagome stood and closed her eyes and tried to feel for an aura.
"He is hiding his aura from you."
Kagome's eyes snapped open "Sesshomaru!" she whispered in fear. It was the first time she had ever really feared him. She turned slowly to see him standing there, but he was not looking at her.
"Sesshomaru I'm-
"Send him a warning."
"What?"
"You are Miko are you not?"
"Yeah"
"Spread out your aura, call him."
"Ok" Kagome closed her eyes "Open your eyes Miko" So she opened her eyes and flared her aura out. With it, she sent a bit of sadness, worry and anger. They stood and waited. "Sesshomaru what if something happened to him."
But he said nothing. "Inuyasha said he was hiding his aura from me, why?"
"Not just to you Miko, he is hiding from everyone."
Then it hit her; the baby was protecting himself. "But Inuyasha said he could read his aura."
"When and where he chooses to show his aura Miko, is up to him."
Kagome bit her lip "Sesshomaru" she felt him, his aura. "Come Miko."
Kagome followed Sesshomaru deeper into the woods; Kagome passed Sesshomaru when she saw the baby. She picked him up and hugged him. Sesshoromaru rubbed his face into her neck. Kagome turned and looked at Sesshomaru when she felt his anger. He was letting his son know he was angry. "Come Miko."
Kagome was shocked that he had not said anything to her about letting his son get away from her, she was kinda shocked that she was still alive. Sesshomaru and Kagome came back into camp to find Miroku and Sango pacing back and forth and Inuyasha with his arms crossed. "Inuyasha." Sesshomaru snapped with his deep tone voice. "Lady Kagome, you found him," Miroku said as he and Sango came to check on the baby. In a flash, Sesshomaru had Inuyasha by the neck "Half Breed."
"Let go, what are you pissed at me for" Inuyasha snapped, trying to get away from Sesshomaru.
"You were on watch, were you not half breed."
"I'm not a babysitter!" He spits out. Sesshomaru tossed him clear across the field and walked back up to Kagome. He grabbed her arm and began to walk away "Sesshomaru?"
"The half breed can no longer protect you or my son."
"And you are Sesshomaru! your gonna protect Kagome, A HUMAN" Inuyasha snapped.
"Perhaps you can join us Lord Sesshomaru" Miroku cut in. Sesshomaru looked to the monk and then let Kagome go.
"Very well."
"WHAT NO WAY" Inuyasha snapped "It is that half breed, or the Miko comes with me."
"Fine, whatever, it's not like you have not been following us anyway," Inuyasha said, and he walked away.
